Description

Hardware identifies some physical component of a computer system.
Even though DocBook provides a broad range of inlines for describing the various
software components of a system, it provides relatively few for describing
hardware.

If you need to identify a number of different hardware components,
you may wish to consider extending DocBook, or at least using the
Role attribute to further classify
Hardware.

Processing expectations

Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute
can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.

Future Changes

In DocBook V4.0, the content model of Hardware will
be constrained to (#PCDATA | Replaceable |
InlineGraphic).
